Arrhenius studied the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction and postulated that rate constant varies with temperature exponentially as k =
. This method is generally used for finding the activation energy of a reaction. Keeping temperature constant, the effect of catalyst on the activation energy has also been studied. In most of the cases, it is observed that catalyst lowers the activation energy and increases the rate of reaction.
